Battlesworn: border reivers 1585

[Mac]

Set in 1585, the Scottish Hume clan are raiding the English village of little Bigglesworth in the West March.  Here is the village of Little Bigglesworth, considered by its inhabitants to be too close to the border with Scotland.


The aim for the Hume reivers is to get as many cows off to Scotland as possible, the locals need to get the cows into the village. Each side gets one point for each cow saved or reived, in addition, one point for each enemy incapacitated. At the end of the game, one die is rolled for each point and the highest total wins.



The rules are the quixotic Battlesworn by Ganesha games

I created one new class for this game: A pistolier. Is like an arquebus, but adds one die to shooting and two close combat.

Great stuff, looking forward to my next border reiver game.
I am waiting to see what the new En Garde rules are like as they are supposed to be suitable for border reivers.

Battlesworn has intrigued me for quite a while, I really should actually play it at some point. Has the expansion been released yet? I recall something like 20+ classes being in the making.
